Make your own pumpkin pie spice

I found this on a blog called living on food stamps. Although its not pumpkin pie season I wanted to post this so I could have it on file if and when I need it. These are her words, not mine.

Pumpkin Pie Spice is obscenely expensive. And we are fast approaching Pumpkin Pie, Pumpkin Bread, Pumpkin 'Everything' season so whattaya do (that was a rhetorical question)? I'll tell you what I did: I went to a Dollar Store and bought 2 oz. jars of each: Cinnamon, Nutmeg, Ginger, All Spice & Ground Clove for $1 each.

Total: 10 oz. of spices for $5. 1.12 oz. For $4.98 This is what pumpkin pie spice costs where she lives.

Pumpkin Pie Spice #1

1/4 cup cinnamon

1 Tbsp. allspice

1 1/2 tsp. each ginger and nutmeg

1 tsp. cloves

#2 Pumpkin Pie Spice

1/4 cup ground cinnamon

1/8 cup ground ginger

1 Tablespoon nutmeg

1 Tablespoon ground cloves

#3 Pumpkin Pie Spice

1/4 cup ground cinnamon

2 tbsp ground ginger

2 tsp ground cloves

1 tsp ground nutmeg

1/2 tsp ground cardamom (optional)

Apple Pie Spice

1/4 cup ground cinnamon

1 tbsp ground allspice

2 tsp ground nutmeg

2 tsp ground ginger

1/2 tsp ground cardamom (optional)

Combine all ingredients and seal in ziploc or vacuum seal bag (or jar). I like to quadruple the recipe & store it in a Jelly Canning Jar. Let me know what you think.

This is a work in progress. If your name and date isnt on there leave me a message but dont be hurt. I am horrible with dates. I also am in the process of gathering up some dates. Help me out here please.

Doin My Best For Him Blog

The views expressed on this blog are my own. They are not always politically correct and sometimes not even gramically correct. But they are my views and in this country I still have the right to express them. If you do not agree with me that's ok. I will not publish nasty comments or comments I feel are trying to start arguments.

I write this blog mainly for my own satisfaction.

I also wanted a place to put my recipes as I find/use them that would be accessable to me and my daughters.

If you do not like my blog or what I say then find one that you can enjoy.

I love comments as long as they are nice.

Dirty Dishes

"Thank God for Dirty Dishes,
They have a tale to tell.
While others are going hungry,
We're eating very well.
With home and health and happiness,
I shouldn't want to fuss.
For by this stack of evidence,
God's very good to us.”

To God be the Glory

Isaiah 5:20-23
Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
21 Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!
22 Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink:
23 Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him

My Statement of Faith

I believe that God is the creator of all. I believe that His son Jesus came to earth to live, die and be resurrected for our sins if we accept that free gift. I won't water down my faith or accept half truths to please people. I believe the authorized King James Bible is the Holy word of God and that other versions are fakes written and published by apostates. I prefer to sit only under teaching that is taught from the authorized King James and no other version. I believe Jesus is the only way to heaven. I believe in the trinity. I believe our Lord is comming soon.
